When I login all Office for Macs open eg outlook, word, messenger and excel how can I stop this
I work in an environment that is mostly pc although a few of us also have Macs. I am seeing fewer details on individuals in the global address book on the Mac side vs the PC side.

For example we have a Corporite ID field on the PC version that doesn't show on the Mac side. We also have Group memberships on the PC that don't show up on the Mac side.

Is there any way to adjust the Mac version to populate these fields?

On both of my Macs, when I type a contraction, it capitalizes the second letter (for example- I'Ll)How do I get this to stop?
new to outlook & macs - double whammy - and I already hate them both. one of the biggest pia's is this annoying property of bringing up all e-mail address that I HAVE REPLIED TO when I'm trying to address an e-mail. I can delete the ones with the x beside them, but many say 'work' and I cannot delete them. Most of these are not in my address book, and I can't find anywhere to change this annoying habit. Several of the searches seem to reflect a number of other people with this same request, but no one seems to have a solution. 
And - FWIW - how ballsy is it of MS to make us fix their mistakes?
Thanks - 

About a month ago we upgraded one of our Macs to 10.8 (from 10.6). The upgrade went fine, but now Outlook Mac 2011 does not work correctly. The only known issue we are having is the Search function not working correctly. Whether it is searching for a Name, Subject, Date… nothing shows up – only “no results”

I’ve searched forums, how-to sites, Microsoft and Apples websites looking for answers and have not found a solution. I’ve installed any updates that are related to Mac Office 2011. None of which have resolved the issue.

So far I’ve tried Rebuilding the Outlook Profile (multiple times), Re-indexing the folders/volumes in Spotlight (multiple times as well). I made sure Mail Messages is checked in Spotlight. After re-indexing is complete, the Mac drags a lot. It drags when you try to do anything within Outlook. Whether it is clicking on a new email, printing, clicking on a subfolder, anything. It’s painful for the user to even use Outlook. So they use their mobile phone at times to read email and/or Outlook Web App (OWA).

Has anyone found a solution? (Besides reimaging/rebuilding the Mac)

Thanks in advance for any help/comments.

i check my email on multiple devices (2 macs using the 'mail' app, my ipad, iphone, and regular internet at work) when i read an email at work on the internet it does not mark it as read on my other devices and visa versa. even the 2 macs with the same mail program dont sync up. how can i rectify this?
How can I constantly sync Outlook 2011 for Mac contacts and calendar between two Macs and my Motorola phone using Gmail?  I am one person and do not have Exchange Server.  My phone is my main device.  The MacBook and IMac are at different locations.  I need constant syncing everywhere.

I also find it interesting that Office 2011 is not a set category by Microsoft in the Version drop down box.  Jeez.

1.  Will the new Windows Phone by Lumia overcome this?
2.  I have an Outlook email account.  If I change exclusively to this, will it allow constant and immediate synchronization?  Or is the IMAP protocol always going to be the issue?
3.  Why isn't there an "Exchange Server" type of workaround for individuals via the cloud or locally stored??

I send out a status report in Outlook (PC) in a table with some shading in the heading rows.  When my colleagues on Macs receive it - the entire table is blue(the shading color I use on the heading rows) - any idea why this would happen?
I am trying to figure out how to save contacts on outlook who I have replied to or sent an email to automatically. A representative suggested using .Nk2 but the software isn't compatible with Macs and doesn't work when I try to use it. Please help me out.
I have an iMac and a Macbook pro both running on Mac OS X and both have Outlook for MAc 2011. 

I just want to sync Contacts and Calendars between both machines. What is the simplest way to do this?
